At last I can sit back and enjoy life. My duty is done. A mischievous scrap mfsatisfaction scampers through my mind. I have written my lettergthe diff- iculties have been successfully overcomeg it is my dear friend's turn to suffer now. The responsibility for the continuation of our friendship rests solely on her shoulders. I have done my part. This triumphant feeling accompanies me exuberantly to bed and continues pleasantly through the following day. It is a doomed sen sation, however, for I discover that I have received another letter in the afternoon mail that will be added to my unanswered accumulation ---- I'm right back where I started from. Itfs inescapableg I'm trapped. Peggy Wilson '44 COLORS I watched the sunset's changing hues, Like the palette that some painter holds To mix his purples with the blues, And the silvery grays with the golds, The shades melt and blend into reds and yellows, They stretch and shrinkg The keen, bright scarlet that mellows Into a glorious orange and pink. Then all the tints grow duller and duller, And suddenly they fade away, Until sky and air are all one color-- A molten, ashen gray. I bewail the sun's declining, His rays like a broken ropog But already the first star is shining-- Why, it's the Star of Hope. Phyllis Bellln '45

TRANSITUS Haec est narratio fortis audacisque viri, Qui cum suis Romania legionibus una Primus parvum amnem Rubiconom transiit Ex omnibus viris Romao, ut narrat fabula. Consulibus Lucio Lentulo at Caio Marcello, Senatus Romae, auotoritato Pompei permotus, Bellum declaravit inter Iulium Caosarom Romamque, aerariis usui Pompei positisg Itaque Caesari eius exorcitus poritus In Italiam adducondus orat ot trans Rubiconem Ut Pompeium vinoeret urbemque reficorct Romam Quae in conditions ruinae defoctionisque erat, Imperio maximae turbae barbaro modo, CAtque maxima turba Romae Pompoio erotb. Tubis oantis, cum vexillum purpuroum imperatoris Amnem transiisset, tum Caius Iulius Caesar, Vestitus in'p1icis paludamonti rubris, fulgens, Sedensque in magno musoulosoquo equo albo, Ut magnificus grandisque rognator omnis mundig Ciroumventus in eorum equis a suis legatis Maxima fidelibus temporo poriculi extremi, Secutusque contigue a suis lagionibus votoranis Quae erant etsi exhaustae ot confectae numeris Longis stipendiis in Gallia annos suporioros, Tamen fideles et bono animo pootoreque, Audaoter eleganterque amnem Rubiconem transiit, Hunc virum ac eius logiones cano Qui historiam mutavit parvo ammo transoundo.
